Traveler's Titles in FTB Skies 2

Traveler's Titles is a simple client-side mod that pops up an RPG-style title whenever you enter a new biome or dimension. Think of the big location banners in an adventure game, but in your modpack world. It's a small touch that makes exploring feel a lot more epic.^[1]

This pack includes version 1.21.1-NeoForge-5.1.3 of the mod.^[2]

What you get

• Titles for every modded biome, since the mod supports all of them.^[1]
• Built-in titles for many modded dimensions. The mod's page names Atum, Twilight Forest, Bumblezone and Lost Cities as examples.^[1]
• Full control over how titles look: text size, color, location, duration and more.^[1]
• Blacklisting for dimensions and biomes you don't want titles for.^[1]
• Optional custom sounds for entering a new biome, dimension or Waystone region.^[1]

Because the mod is client-side, it only changes what you see and hear on your own screen.^[1]

Make it your own

You can add your own sounds with a small resource pack that uses the namespace travelerstitles. Drop dimension.ogg, biome.ogg or waystone.ogg into its sounds folder. If you don't provide a sound for one of those types, nothing plays for it.^[1]

Resource pack lang files let you write your own dimension and biome titles, and each one can have its own color as an RGB hex string.^[1]

Good news: there's nothing to craft or set up here. Traveler's Titles is a simple client-side mod that shows RPG-like titles when you enter a new biome or dimension. Just play, and the titles appear on their own as you explore.^[1]

The sources I have don't list any recipes, items or quests for this mod in this pack, so there is no crafting order to follow and no recipe block to show.^[1]

What to expect while playing

• Titles show up when you enter a biome or a dimension. The mod supports all modded biomes, so biomes from other mods get titles too.^[1]
• It includes built-in titles for many modded dimensions, such as Atum, Twilight Forest, Bumblezone and Lost Cities.^[1]
• If the Waystones mod is installed, the mod can show a Waystone's title when you're near it. The project page says this is for 1.18+ Forge only.^[1]

Previewing titles

If you want to see what a title looks like without traveling there, use the debug commands. They work in single-player worlds if you have sufficient permissions.^[1]

• /biometitle <biome> previews a biome title.^[1]
• /dimensiontitle <dimension> previews a dimension title.^[1]

Customizing it (optional)

The mod is completely customizable: you can change text size, color, location, duration and more. It also supports dimension and biome blacklisting, so you can hide titles you don't want to see.^[1]

A resource pack can add custom sounds too. Make it use the namespace travelerstitles and put dimension.ogg, biome.ogg or waystone.ogg in its sounds folder. Each one plays when you enter a new dimension, biome or Waystone region. If you don't provide a sound for a type, nothing plays for that type.^[1]

You can also add or rename titles with lang files in a resource pack. Dimensions use the key format travelerstitles.namespace.dimensionname. For a biome-only override that won't affect other uses of the biome's name, use travelerstitles.biome.namespace.biomename. An optional color entry set as an RGB hex string overrides the default text color for that dimension or biome.^[1]

Unverified The default config values this pack uses for Traveler's Titles (text size, color, position, duration, blacklists) are not confirmed by the sources, so check the in-game config if you want to know the exact settings.

Traveler's Titles is a simple client-side mod. Its whole job is to show an RPG-style title when you enter a new biome or dimension. The sources describe nothing like machines, multiblocks, power, fluids or item automation for it, so this section covers how the titles themselves work.^[1]

What triggers a title

• Entering a biome shows a biome title. Modded biomes are supported too.^[1]
• Entering a dimension shows a dimension title. The mod ships built-in titles for many modded dimensions, including Atum, Twilight Forest, Bumblezone and Lost Cities.^[1]
• With the Waystones mod, the mod can show a Waystone's title when you are near it. The project page says this is for 1.18+ Forge only.^[1]
• You can blacklist dimensions and biomes so they don't show titles.^[1]

The project page says text size, color, location, duration and more are all customizable. It doesn't list the individual option names, so I won't guess at them here.^[1]

Custom sounds

Sounds are optional and come from a small resource pack that uses the namespace travelerstitles. In its sounds folder you can add any or all of three files: dimension.ogg, biome.ogg and waystone.ogg. They play when you enter a new dimension, biome or Waystone region respectively. If you don't provide a file for a type, no sound plays for that type of title.^[1]

Changing titles with lang files

Resource pack lang files let you add or change titles. Dimensions use the format travelerstitles.namespace.dimensionname, with your title text as the value.^[1]

Biomes use the normal biome.namespace.biomename entries, so any mod's biomes work out of the box. If you want to change a biome's title without affecting other places that use the same translation, use the mod-specific format travelerstitles.biome.namespace.biomename instead.^[1]

Title colors

Dimensions and biomes can both have an optional color lang entry. It overrides the configured default text color for that one dimension or biome. Colors are RGB hex strings, such as ff0000 for red and 00ff00 for green.^[1]

For biome colors, a key that starts with travelerstitles takes priority over other entries. The project page's example gives the desert biome blue text (0000ff), because the travelerstitles entry beats the plain biome entry set to ff0000.^[1]

Previewing titles

You can preview a title without travelling there using the debug commands /biometitle with a biome, and /dimensiontitle with a dimension. They work in single player worlds if you have sufficient permissions.^[1]

FTB Skies 2 1.22.0 ships Traveler's Titles 1.21.1-NeoForge-5.1.3. The mod has been in the pack since FTB Skies 2 1.0.1 or earlier, so this is the version you're running.^[2]

What changed in 5.1.3

The 5.1.3 update was contributed by @mpustovoi on GitHub. It's all about the names and colors shown in your titles, plus a bit of translation cleanup:^[3]

• More dimension names were added, and dimension names that had no color now have one.^[3]
• Missing biome names were added for Terralith, Incendium and Nullscape. Brackets were also removed from the Terralith biome names.^[3]
• Biome names were added for The Bracken Pack, Saturated, LIMBO Dimension, Lightwoods and The Afterdark. These are datapacks and mods that don't have language files.^[3]
• The Middle-Earth dimension now has a name and a color.^[3]
• Dimension names (levels) from The Backrooms mod were added, including ones that are currently in development. The colors of the level names from The True Backrooms mod were adjusted.^[3]
• Some typos were fixed and consistency was improved in the Russian translation file, ru_ru.json.^[3]

Unverified No pack changelog entries for this mod were available, so what changed for Traveler's Titles between individual FTB Skies 2 releases is unverified.
